Philadelphia Phillies
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The series is split one a piece thus far. Roy Halladay beat out Tim Lincecum and the Giants 5-2 Monday night while Madison Bumgarner and the Giants' bats beat out Joe Blanton and held the Phillies to just two runs last night. Tonight is the series finale and the Phillies are looking […]
It took him two previous tries that both resulted in losses, but last night 49 year-old Jamie Moyer took to the hill in Denver and made history. Jamie Moyer became the oldest pitcher to ever win a major league game at the age of 49 years and 151 days. Moyer beat out former Brooklyn Dodger […]
Ugly, ugly, ugly. No, not the Mets. The Phillies' offense and pitching. Vance Worley started his second game of the season this evening against Jonathon Niese and the Mets in this three-game series. After last night's loss, the Phillies were looking to turn it around and come back to .500 tonight. Third baseman David Wright […]
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies finally won their first series of the season. Last night, Joe Blanton was spectacular through 7 innings, allowing just 3 hits and one earned run. Blanton was backed by home runs from Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton to beat the Marlins, 3-1 and take the series 2-1. Tonight, the New York Mets […]
Three years ago to this day, Philadelphia lost the greatest voice in the world; Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas. The voice of the Phillies, the voice of our summers. The voice of Veterans Stadium and Citizens Bank Park. The voice of the 2008 World Series Champions. There is no chance that anyone could ever […]
Incoincidentally, Joe Blanton started his first game of the season on the first Dollar Dog Night at Citizens Bank Park! (That was my first and last fat joke, I promise.) Mark Buehrle got the start for Miami tonight. Joe Blanton was breezing through this Marlins lineup tonight. In his career, he is 6-2 with a […]

Burrell began his career with the Phillies as a first overall pick in the 1998 MLB Draft. Burrell made his debut in 2000 and ended his tenure with the Phillies after […]
Expect to hear Cole Hamels' name a lot this upcoming season. The second week of the season people are already panicking. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman writes today: "Word came yesterday that the Phillies haven't recently contacted star lefthander Cole Hamels, who's going to be a free agent after the year….The…possibility, of course, is that the […]
Not tonight, Miami. Freddy Galvis and the Phils had other plans. Tonight was all about this Phillies lineup. Charlie Manuel sent out his fifth different lineup, and he finally struck gold. And by gold, I mean runs. With Roy Halladay on the mound against fellow ace Josh Johnson, Doc would reign superior once again with […]
Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew The first time Roy Halladay and Josh Johnson faced off on the mound was May 29, 2010. Roy Halladay threw the 20th perfect game in MLB history against the then-Florida Marlins. Two match ups have followed resulting in two Marlin wins. On June 10, 2010, 12 days after the perfect game, Halladay and Johnson […]
